Up above so, up above so quiet
Down below so, down below so violent
And we try so
We're trying not to fight it
Oh but still we question
Is there anybody to listen to our fears?
Now here's temptation
See it laughing in your face
The congregation
Makes it easy to change shape
And only God knows
If we're practicing religion
Now where's your patience?
Is it crawling in the night?
Conversation
Makes it hard to exchange fright
Is there anybody to listen to our fears?
What does, what does your mind say?
I bet somebody told you
I bet somebody warned you
That this is the way that it is
And no one can change it
Don't forget ignorance is right
And no one can face it
That the world is Black and White
Shut your mouth boy
Bite your tongue and don't think twice
They can find your house boy
Censor your lips and pick another disguise
And tell me who knows
Why our truths are used as currency, the current needs, some knowledge as the oven screams
AS LONG AS THERE'S BREAD AND AS LONG AS THERE'S AN APPETITE, AS LONG AS EVERYONE YOU NEED IS STEPPING IN LINE
You are camouflaged, hiding in plane sight
You are camouflaged, concealed by your slight of
HAND OVER YOUR WILL, YOUR MIND, EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER LOVED AND STOOD BEHIND
And I didn't even know that I witnessed a crime
And I didn't even know that I gave my life
Facial recognition, interterminal rendition
Did you find your God in security with drones as your permission?
Did you ask God?
Misuse of religion
Tell me you're not missing this, I swear there's a bigger mission
Insist upon the questions you've been dying to ask
"Why history books leave out the past"
And so you hold fast, dying to hear the next word
On the edge of your seat, but not really alert
And did you ask God?
If its okay to do His job, if what you're doing is wrong or if you're strong enough to make a difference
But you have power in every sentence, you can use it for vengeance or fall on your own repentance or finally have acceptance that you are God
You are God
